11 arrested for ATM fraud charges in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's anti-crime elite force Rapid Action Battalion
Dhaka - ArabToday
11 people allegedly involved in ATM card forgery have been arrested in Bangladesh capital Dhaka.
Bangladesh's anti-crime elite force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) made the arrests from different parts of the capital city during separate raids, RAB spokesman Mufti Mahmud Khan told journalists at a press briefing on Wednesday.
He said that the offenders used to fish huge amount of money by cloning cards.
Khan said a stash of hundreds of fake ATM cards and card making and related materials were seized from their possessions.
In February last year four people including a foreigner allegedly involved in an ATM skimming scam were arrested in Bangladesh.
The 2016 instances of ATM card fraud in Bangladesh forced almost all the country's 56 banks to take precautionary measures, including temporarily shutting down transactions through the national payment switch (NPS), to safeguard the interests of clients.
The Bangladesh Bank had then instructed all banks to install anti-skimming devices, monitor the surveillance footage, and disallow third parties from repairing the machines.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
